I love teaching my kids little DIY survival tricks. Here is one for you on how to make a portable stove. Start by making wood shavings by placing a stick into a power drill and turning it slowly in a pencil sharpener. Alternatively, you can use sawdust. Next, fill a small can halfway with the wood shavings and stir in some melted unscented candle wax. The shavings will absorb the wax and serve as a wicking material, allowing it to burn from one and a half to two hours. It’s versatile and can be used as a portable cooking stove, a fire starter, or an emergency heater.
It’s now time to make yourself comfortable on the laugh lounger and listen to the joke of the day. This one’s called “Automated Prompt.”
A man called a department store to speak to someone, but was greeted by an automated phone system:
“If you are calling to order or pay for an item, please press 5. If you are calling to register a complaint, please press 645983482#*#. Have a good day.”
